I wish people would stop being such zealots when talking about functional programming. JS is mostly an imperative language, with OO and FP features, that you can use when they make sense. From the article you linked: > This is a function

So severe obesity would be indeed "almost as bad as smoking" according to your article, which is more in line with what I've heard before. Thanks for the sources.

My (uninformed) guess would be that people with diabetes are followed more closely than people without. Your point about healthier lifestyle is a good one too.

I fail to see the problem with this. Especially when it's products made from animals that eat the grass around that place. Or anything soil-dependant really. Wine is very different depending on where it comes from.

In the SML/OCaml world there's something like that: there is a difference between types and modules, and functions (from types to types) and functors (from module to module). Work was done on 1ML to unify everything: https:/

If you want to limit something to programmers, I think one idea would be to ask them to run a command, giving a linux and a windows possibility, and copy/pasting the result.

I would too, but I'd like some hard data on this. For example, how much slower? 2 times? 10 times? 100 times? Is this an initial cost or a cost paid on all features? Is maintenance easier? Harder?

Lots of opinions but little facts in the comment. I'd love to see an experiment with people using that and their preferred web stack. Is this really slower to develop? By how much? Is this really unsecure? Is this really simpler, faste

For me it's the opposite, when walking around I'll have a sense where "north" or "home" is, and at some point it will switch (north becoming east for example) and I won't notice it.

> The exact point is "if you can't afford be present-focused in one way, be future-focused in a different way". That would work if Zig was the only language in development in that space. It isn't.

Rust was announced in 2010. Rust in 2016 had documentation in better shape than current Zig, and was past 1.0. The difference seems to be that Zig was announced earlier in development. Considering how much I hear about Zig, I expected it to

Why? This doesn't make sense to me, for a few reasons reasons: 1) I'm looking for the best, not the best by programmer hours or growth. Zig has accomplished a lot and I'm impressed by the work of people on it. But it's s
